"Jungkook-ah?"

Jungkook looked back to see Namjoon approaching him. The party was over and the others were passed out due to excessive drinking. Namjoon stood next to Jungkook as they looked at the garden.

"Why did you disappear?"

"Are you going to accept the position hyung?" asked Jungkook as he went right to it.

"Oh, I will. Seokjin-ajeossi and your hyung's got me the position and I do not want to make them look bad if I deny them. It's the royal family"

Jungkook frowned but he looked over at Namjoon and saw how he looked nervous. Jungkook grabbed Namjoon's hand snapping him out of his thoughts.

"You are the most qualified person ever hyung! You taught me after all, do you think I turned out bad?"

"Of course not Jungkook. You excelled in your studies in all aspects. You are our golden maknae"

"So why doubt your ability! You will be the best they've ever known. That Korea has ever known. You will pave the way for a better future!" said Jungkook as he grabbed Namjoon by the shoulders.

Namjoon laughed as he looked at Jungkook. Jungkook smiled/blushed as he saw Namjoon smile. Namjoon was at first an older brother to him, then a cool family friend that cared for him, and eventually a crush.

Jungkook knew that Namjoon wasn't blood related to them and he let that mindset get to him as he knew he had a chance with Namjoon. Though he knew Namjoon didn't see him like that but the youngest family member of the ones who raised him. Namjoon made it clear he didn't want to burden them but to eventually pay them back for all they did.

Jungkook pressed himself against Namjoon's chest as he placed a kiss on Namjoon's lips. This caused Namjoon to pull away and wipe his mouth. Jungkook saddened.

"Jungkook...no-"

"-Do you like me though?!"

"..."

"Hyung! If you like me forget about everything else!"

"I can't Jungkook. You are Seokjin-ajeossi's son. I'm in debt with your father. I couldn't ever love you romantically because you are also the closest person I'll ever have as a little brother"

Jungkook cried as Namjoon turned away leaving him.

"Give me a chance hyung! I'll see that you love me!"

"Hello, my name is Kim, Namjoon. It is an honor to be present in front of you two and to serve you two, my prince's"

Namjoon bowed in front of the two. Jimin was the oldest while Taehyung was the youngest. Namjoon had never met the two before so looking at them made him realize how handsome they were.

"You are the one who the king chose?" asked Jimin as he looked Namjoon up and down.

"You're young. How old are you?" asked Taehyung.

"I'm 27 years old prince Taehyung. Will that be a problem? I ca—"

"-No, we couldn't care less. My brother is just interested as we've never heard of such a young scholar. We've always been assigned an older scholar though if the king chose you then you must be qualified"

The princes began to work on learning the laws as Namjoon watched them and say by them if there were questions.

"I'm no longer interested" sighed Taehyung as he got up from where he was sitting.

Namjoon got up quickly.

"Prince Taehyung, have you finished?"

"No, I'm just bored of this. I won't even need it. It's not like I'm going to reign"

Namjoon watched as Taehyung left. Jimin scoffed as he continued writing.

"He's throwing another tantrum. That's why he will never reign. Not because I'm next in line but because he isn't even worthy enough to show the king that he can surpass me in being qualified. I wouldn't waste my time on him. None of our teachers did. Going back to coax a bratty prince is not under your qualifications—"

"—I'll be back prince Jimin. I'm going to go find prince Taehyung"

Jimin looked up from his paper seeing Namjoon running out of the room. He had never seen anyone go after his brother. What an idiot...
